53: Hannette Staack

Hannette Staack, Co-founder of Brazil - 021 School of Jiu-Jitsu, will be one of the instructors at the 2020 Roll Model Women’s Only Grappling Camp in Indianapolis. She is a fourth-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In this episode we talk about the challenges of competing while running a school, overcoming injuries, and turning something bad into something good. Hannette’s first big moment came in 2002 when after five fights she won her first world championship in the women’s purple/brown/black belt combined division. Since then, Hannette has fought every World Championship, taking six gold medals home in and establishing herself as one of the most tenacious and talented female grapplers in the history of jiu-jitsu. The mission of Brazil-021 School of Jiu-Jitsu seeks much more than winning competition medals. Their resolution is to promote health, well-being, self-confidence, and mental toughness in a safe, encouraging, and inspirational environment to properly prepare their clients for all of the challenges of life.   Connect with Hannette Staack Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hannettestaack http://brazil021.com/   Register for Roll Model Camp 2020 https://www.thefighthub.com/shop/roll-model-womens-only-grappling-camp-may-2020/   Subscribe to Beauty and the Gi Podcast Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-and-the-gi/id1458389465?mt=2 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3IHT3BNicukNtCVa3AAwBI Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9iZWF1dHlhbmR0aGVnaS5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw%3D%3D   Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter Beauty and the Gi Facebook Group Beauty and the Gi Facebook Page   Recording, Theme Music, Editing, and Production of this podcast by Jen at The Brassy Broadcasting Company
